One third the sum of two consecutive numbers is one less than the smaller. Find the numbers.

Mathematics
1 answer:

(B) 4 and 5

4 and 5 are consecutive numbers and when you add both of them (sum) you get 9.

Once you get 9, it says 1/3 of the sum of the two consecutive numbers.

So we would do 9 divided by 3 which then we would get 3.

It also says the number is one less than the smaller number (which is 4 in this case as 4 is smaller than 5).

3 is one number smaller than 4 and is therefore the answer.

During the first 11 months of a recent year, a certain charitable organization received an average (arithmetic mean) of $20,600
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

D. $25,400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the score during December.

We have been given that during 1 months of a recent year, a certain charitable organization received an average (arithmetic mean) of $20,600 per month in donations.

The total score for 11 months would be 11\times 20,600=226600.

We can set our given information in an equation as:

\text{Average}=\frac{\text{Sum of all data points}}{\text{Total number of data points}}

\frac{226,600+x}{12}=21,000

\frac{226,600+x}{12}*12=21,000*12

226,600+x=252,000

226,600-226,600+x=252,000-226,600

x=25,400

Therefore, the organization received $25,400 in donations during December and option D is the correct choice.
